What do you like best about the product?

Wiz provides teams of all size visibility and helps identify gaps in their cloud infrastructure. They excel at many things and are always working with their customers to find countless other areas to bring value in. Wiz really is as flexible of a tool as there is and only limited by the knowledge and ability of your team to leverage the functionality.

Besides it's obvious functionality as a CSPM, Wiz enables teams customizability that fit in with their Security mission - whatever that may be. It's a very low maintenaince tool that gives teams the time back to focus on the priorities that matter. It's an easy sell to any organization - it meets all the requirements you could have any with almost no compute overhead and reliability - the tool scales with your org at an instant.

Wiz also provides some of the best customer service in the industry and is extremely competitive in terms of pricing.

What do you dislike about the product?

Wiz often times will release new features that are intended on being "tested" - this can mean that if you don't understand what the value or use case is, they can feel not "production" ready. Some orgs can be turned off by this, but for an org with proper technical resources you'll be able to provide feedback to Wiz to help shape the feature(s) to what you really need.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Wiz is a powerful tool for automating security and compliance processes in the cloud, there are some potential downsides or areas where it may not be as helpful as expected. Here are some of the least helpful aspects of Wiz:
1. Dependence on cloud providers: Wiz is built around the major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. While this makes it easy to integrate with these platforms, organizations using other cloud providers or on-premises environments may find Wiz less useful.
2. Limited integration with other tools: While Wiz integrates with some other security and compliance tools, its integration capabilities are limited compared to other automation tools. This can make it difficult for organizations to integrate Wiz with their existing toolset.
3. Steep learning curve: While Wiz provides a user-friendly interface, the sheer amount of features and capabilities can make it challenging for new users to learn and master the tool. This can be especially true for organizations without dedicated security or compliance teams.
4. Cost: Its paid tiers can be expensive, especially for larger organizations. This can be a barrier for some organizations looking to implement Wiz's features.
5. Limited visibility into cloud resources: Wiz relies on the cloud provider's APIs to gather data about cloud resources. However, these APIs may not provide complete visibility into all cloud resources, particularly those that are not natively supported by the cloud provider. This can limit Wiz's ability to detect and monitor certain types of resources.
6. Dependence on accurate data: Wiz relies on accurate and up-to-date data to make informed recommendations and provide effective security and compliance management. However, if the data is incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate, Wiz's recommendations may not be reliable.
7. Limited support for non-cloud environments: While Wiz is primarily designed for cloud environments, its capabilities may be limited when applied to on-premises environments or other types of infrastructure.
8. Potential for false positives: Like any security tool, Wiz may generate false positives, which can lead to unnecessary work and fatigue for security teams. This can also undermine the credibility of the tool in the eyes of security decision-makers.

What do you dislike about the product?

To be very Frank there is nothing much to dislike about Wiz.

But I feel one aspect where we can have a improvement is in the reporting section where we need to manually select or type the VM instance name we need to have a capability to upload them via text or xls sheet directly instead of typing them one by one.

What do you dislike about the product?

AI search. So far it has not worked well for me. I've gotten "I don't know" or a forever spinning wheel on every query.

I think it would be nice to see it work well. But the command k search is already really good so I'm not pressed to see this one be phenomenal. I'd rather have the ability to do graph query's with AI

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vulnerability management in our cloud environments. And now runtime security as well. Docker registry scanning

I believe so, I think wiz has some "clarification" it can work on, like with a good service now integration, but it's a very helpful tool
